KitchenAid 9 Cup Food Processor KFP0921 Black Matte

I really like that this food processor is low enough to sit under the cupboards on the countertop but the container is big enough for bigger amounts. The buttons are easy to use and it makes quick work of processing. It's also quite quiet for a food processor. I gave it a 4 for ease of use, as when you use the slicing or grating blades, the ends fall over and they just sit on top of the blade or eventually fall into the container in whole pieces, but only a few. For me, I'll probably still slice vegetables by hand. I did shred a large amount of zucchini and it worked great for that but again the small ends fall over and they don't get properly grated; either fall into the container or just sit on top of the blade, but I just easily picked them out at the end. I made ... MoreI really like that this food processor is low enough to sit under the cupboards on the countertop but the container is big enough for bigger amounts.

I made some salad dressing and it worked beautifully for that. I bought this mostly to do large amounts of grating or processing sauces, salad dressings, etc. I'm happy with it!

Buyer beware

Purchased this food processor on 5/31/23. I used it 2 times and it worked fine. The 3rd time (today) the processor would not turn on. I called QVC customer service hoping they would send me a replacement or refund my money. I offered to return the process and was tell don't bother since QVC does not offer a warranty on the product and the allowable return date has expired and there was nothing they could or would do. Customer service suggested I contact kitchen aid about the appliance. I did so and was told other than my sending it to them to repair (at my expense) there was nothing they could do since the processor was purchased from QVC. I now have a $106 appliance that is useless. Thank you QVC. I am done with QVC. They refused to stand behind their product. I ... MorePurchased this food processor on 5/31/23.

I think they would have honored my request for a replacement. Be aware QVC does not offer warranties on some of their products and will not cooperate with a customer.

Cheap wasteful plastic. Sad waste of plastic.

Hi. My food processor started to break off plastic parts almost day 1. I’m a busy working mom… so I put up with it and didn’t feel like returning it and repackaging etc.The lock broke off with in a week. I have to push down with my one hand to make it “think” it’s locked.I put up with this because I honest.y can’t deal with all the poorly made hard plastic destroying our trash piles.But now I’m upset. The top of the black handle broke, broke first, and has been hanging on…I was hand rinsing it and the weight of having water in the mixing bowl snapped off the junk plastic handle.I am just sad to buy something that is encased in junky plastic parts. A great motor and metal blades—- in soft snapping off plastic. I’m not the only one. I am writing this bc I see ... MoreHi. My food processor started to break off plastic parts almost day 1.

Lid closure broken. Gone. Top of black handle.snapped. Now fully black handle snapped off. All sitting in a pile on my counter top. Annoyed.Environmentally wasteful product. I’m a designer and architect— spec better materials for your products. They exist. And there’s enough complaints here to indicate you are using inferior plastic mixtures to form your parts. Don’t just look at numbers sold- look at those returned and adding to land fills.

Definitely not the KA Classic Food Processor :-(

I feel like I need to give an honest review. I bought this as a replacement for my kitchen aid Classic food processor I had for 20 years. Unfortunately, it doesn’t hold a candle to the classic model. The motor is powerful, but the base is so light you have to hold it steady so it won’t flip over while processing. It does not chop/grind ingredients thoroughly. It leaves ingredients in the middle mostly unprocessed while the top and the bottom are over processed. I have this problem no matter how little or how much I put in the processor and no matter the technique I use to process. It does not work well at all for pastry blending. My old food processor made a perfect pie crust. This one cannot because of the afore mentioned problem. My same pastry recipe I used in my ... MoreI feel like I need to give an honest review.

My same pastry recipe I used in my old one keeps coming out very over worked in the new model because it’s just not reaching all the ingredients well. I wish after 2 years of really trying to make this processor work for me, I could return it. From what I read online, if you liked the great KA classic model, you should get a Cuisinart Classic as a replacement. I truly wish KA would bring back the irreplaceable Classic food processor.

Kitchen Aid products are not what they used to be!

Model nbr: KFP0919CU Serial nbr: YJA1704829 Purchased at Costco in 2021 $90I purchased Kitchen Aid for its name and a long history of dependable products (in the past anyway)!Unit died while pulverizing nuts. I contacted customer service, and their only priority was to verify it was past the warranty period. I was given two options: 1) ship for $35 for repairs and pay $25 to evaluate to be deducted if I had it fixed at an unknown cost. 2) I could buy a new one at a Mother's Day sale for only $99! Yes, I'm past the 1-year warranty period, I simply expected a Kitchen Aid product to be more dependable! Ok, things happen, I understand. I don't understand Kitchen Aid not supporting their products with more pride than a 3-year-old minimally used unit breaking while ... MoreModel nbr: KFP0919CU Serial nbr: YJA1704829 Purchased at Costco in 2021 $90I purchased Kitchen Aid for its name and a long history of dependable products (in the past anyway)!Unit died while pulverizing nuts.

Problem is internal.Use these facts to make your own wise consumer choice of brands.

Outstanding pie crust machine!

We bought this from Walmart because of the price. Walmart had it listed and shipped free for about 85 dollars while Amazon listed it for about 150 dollars. We purchased the machine specifically for making pie dough. My wife's hands are getting too old to do that anymore, but she has always made the best pie crust by hand. The machine has not disappointed us in anyway. We bought our first Kitchenaid in the 70's when they were still hobart, and we have another "Pro" model Kitchen aid mixer for larger bread dough batches. Our only negative is the plastic case of the machine, but considering the price a buyer can easily overlook that. The machine literally operates for only a few seconds to make a perfect pie dough. We used the Kitchenaid recipe (much to my amazement ... MoreWe bought this from Walmart because of the price.

Saved by a great product.

Surprisingly I totally enjoyed using the new model. Specific features were the double blades, & the compact size of the full machine. In addition it fitted into my existing bench cupboard - easy to store.In the day I bought the machine, I began cooking for a dinner party, 11 people four course meal, only to find my previous machine was broken. My guests were arriving at 6 pm.At 2 pm, shopping at the different stores, to price check, to understand various options I had to make a purchase decision.At 3.30 pm, I’m making a pumpkin soup. I’m purring boiled orange pulp ready for my sweet recipe. this new machine was so much more compact, clearer, easy to use, OMG, what a different experience. So much easier to use.Delighted guests and a happy customer.Looking ... MoreSurprisingly I totally enjoyed using the new model.

[Rewarded Review] Fantastic Appliance

I bought my food processor a month ago after reading many reviews about it. There was not one bad review so I bought it to give it a go. OMG why did I wait so long! It is one of the best kitchenaid appliances I am very proud to own. At the time I purchased it there was also an online tutorial zoom only a couple of days later which covered how to get the best out of your processor. Th consultant made a shepherds pie using real meat & how to mince it in the processor followed by making a yummy cheesecake from scratch.That really inspired me to try so many different meals & I no longer buy my mince meat I make it fresh & it tastes so much better as well as being a whole lot healthier. If your thinking about getting one do it you won’t regret it!I can’t add a pic ... MoreI bought my food processor a month ago after reading many reviews about it.

First time KitchenAid customer, having purchased the 9 Cup Compact Food Processor almost 2 years ago. My machine had a minor manufacturing/component failure rendering the whole machine inoperable, (although only a small defect had occurred & the remaining components remained unaffected and in working order) I contacted KitchenAid support as my purchase was still covered under they’re excellent 2 year warranty.After minimum fuss explaining my situation, & providing some photos of my claim to CS, I was issued not only a replacement part (bowl), KitchenAid then express posted me a brand new replacement machine, at no further cost, with a new 2 year warranty for this new machine!If that’s not the pinnacle of ‘User Experience’, Customer Service right here, then I ... MoreFirst time KitchenAid customer, having purchased the 9 Cup Compact Food Processor almost 2 years ago.

The replacement part is also sold for n the company’s web store for $50, or nearabouts. I would have been happy to keep my machine working, which I love and use everyday, by paying this nominal fee for a replacement, but I got a new machine and warranty with hassle free support.Great Company!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️Could not recommend/

[Rewarded Review] Pretty but Dumb

It has been a busy month moving back from Europe and resettling in the US. I bought this product a month ago but I only just now opened the box to use it for Thanksgiving. It is a beautiful appliance and I know it would look gorgeous on my granite countertop, but alas it is a piece of junk! Sorry to be so blunt. Never did I imagine that Kitchen Aid would produce something this low quality. It feels like a child's toy, thin plastic, loose fittings and weak performance. There is no way could I use this for my dinner preparations. Desperate to find a solution I climbed into my attic and began tearing though boxes in hopes of finding my old "Cuisinart Classic" (circa 1988). I had boxed it up 3 years earlier when leaving for our sabbatical overseas. I held little hope ... MoreIt has been a busy month moving back from Europe and resettling in the US.

Desperate to find a solution I climbed into my attic and began tearing though boxes in hopes of finding my old "Cuisinart Classic" (circa 1988). I had boxed it up 3 years earlier when leaving for our sabbatical overseas. I held little hope that I would find it amongst the random treasures in my attic. But there it was, labeled "misc. kitchen”. I took the old girl back to the kitchen and dusted her off. She still had all her attachments and she looked eager to be recommissioned into service. Without hesitation I plugged her in and gave her a whirl. It was like being transported back to the 80's, she shredded that carrot in 2 seconds flat! Still tight and powerful as the day I bought her, albeit not as beautiful. Nevertheless, I was so delighted! But now what to do this new one… the pretty one, the Kitchen Aid. I have concluded that there is no place in my kitchen for this new appliance, no matter how beautiful it may be. I still love Kitchen Aid, I just hope this is not a foreshadowing of things to come, time will tell. In the meantime I have all the original packaging so I can send it back to you?
